The growing global demand for batteries is currently covered for the largest part by lithium-ion batteries. However, alternative battery technologies are increasingly coming into focus due to geopolitical dependencies and resource availability.
The alternative battery technologies can supplement or even replace LIBs in individual applications and thus make the battery market more diverse. The sodium-ion battery in particular is looking especially promising - the industry has also picked up speed here in recent months.
The different levels of technological maturity and the technological challenges mean that the alternative battery technologies are likely to be ready for market entry at different times. In addition, the alternative battery technologies are suitable for different applications due to their technical properties, e.g. energy density or service life.
In a secondary battery, energy is stored by using electric power to drive a chemical reaction. The resultant materials are “richer in energy” than the constituents of the discharged device .
In the lithium-free space, sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) are one of the most promising technologies. Sodium-ion chemistry could allow the use of oxides or polyanionic compounds that are cobalt- and even nickel-free, pointing to a very different economy than that of LIBs. Commercialization of NIBs has also taken off recently.
Aqueous rechargeable batteries based on organic-aluminum coupling show promise as alternatives to lithium-ion batteries but require further research for improved performance and scalability. Table 4, summarizes the most important aspects on the merits and demerits of the energy storage devices being advanced currently. Table 4.
